Monday’s postponements, cancellations on north shore

Strong thunderstorms caused the postponement or cancellation of all games scheduled to be played on the north shore. The tricky part for softball teams is that their seasons must end by Wednesday, according to LHSAA rules. Playoff pairings are scheduled to be announced Thursday.

This District 8-4A game was in the bottom of the first inning with the Rebels leading, 2-0. SSA had runners on first and third with one out. The continuation of the game will be played Wednesday at 4 p.m., which means the Doves’ scheduled game at Covington is canceled. (District games take precedence over non-district games.)
